Antonio
LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN #3 AND ALL OF THE REST. WITH THAT ONE, YOU EXPLAIN THE HISTORICAL FACT AND THEN LINK IT TO THE CONTENT OF THE PLAY. THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED FOR EACH OF THEM.
TOP 10 LIST:
1. The title of Duke has never been associated with independent rule in the British Isles: they hold Dukedoms.

2. Although murdering a king was and still is considered a crime, if another member of the kingdom of higher rank assassinates the king, then in some countries, one might actual take the title and rule for years to follow.

3. In most cases back then, killing a king would result in death. If Antonio were to follow through with his plan with Sebastian to kill the king, then the chances of them getting caught are high which would also result most likely in death. If one were to kill the king, the king's crew would make sure one would suffer very slowly and unpleasantly. However, many countries are different. They hold different punishments for crimes committed against murder. If the king at the time represented a horrible leader, then one who murders the king might be looked upon as a hero by peers and the community. Although Alonso wasn’t looked upon as a horrible leader, Antonio would have most likely would have gotten caught along with Sebastian leading Antonio to a torturous death. When one is trialed for killing the king, most suspects describe their intentions and acts of God.

4. A Duke holds a high reputation to peers in a non-royal aristocracy. A Royal Duke is a duke who is a member of the British Royal Family that holds title of "His Royal Highness". The power that a duke holds is ranking underneath the king and the queen.

5. If a duke represents good services to the monarchy, they were rewarded titles of higher ranking and income-producing lands called a duchy. A duke’s duties are to run high finance and old estates. To make ends meet, a duke would usually be asked to give tours of their own residence. If a duke was out of money, the king would require them to sell their household but still hold their title as duke. But most family’s with a royal duke never have money problems and actually gross more money.

6. If a woman was a wife to a duke, that automatically makes her a duchess. A duke is succeeded on his death by his eldest son, if any, or a son of a son, then a brother. The ceremony is immediately the following evening or the following day. When a duke dies, there is a funeral held, and the next descendant of the royal family receives title.

7. Some common ways to murder a king were by poisoning or by slaying with a sword. Guns were not used to kill royalty.

8. Duke one step down from a king, and although a queen is required to marry a king, it was acceptable in the royal family for the queen to marry a duke, or a king to marry a duchess.

9. When a duke is in reign, popularity status goes up, special treatment (similar to the king), access to travel the world, prestige in financial matters, open doors to other career fields, discounts in the consumer world and held great influence on the community.

10. If a duke were to have a son, the son would hold a lesser title given from tradition by the family to the heir and would most likely not hold title under the duke’s title leaving the son to hold a low rank in the royalty chain.
